This si not out yet, and the rear has not even been designed yet. They debuted this car concept with a fully finished SC, (worth checking out) at TAS this year.

Sources who do biz with AS says this kit may be ready by Summer. I am definately on board with the whole kit, minus the unseen back. I do agree the lights look a little mercedesish, but the whole kit IMO is VERY nice.

Will post pics when this all comes together. Am thinking of some WALD wheels with it though.

It is a really nice kit, I bet it will cost a pretty penny too, I think it flows pretty good with the car too

100% agreed on the above. It also looks very nice. Nothing wrong with influence especially when blending two incredible design elements. BTW the Walkd fenders were never offered or produced for the IS

Rocker panels look like Wald, itself copied by a few other brands. Seems like that is the only design for this car, plus or minus a few strakes.
